Best Cosy Restaurants in Madison

If you get a chance to visit- YOU MUST GO! It is BREATHTAKINGLY GORGEOUS! The service is impeccable. Even the bathroom is beautifully decorated. Hands down, easily, the BEST RESTAURANT I’ve ever been to! A must when in town.

One of the very few good seafood options in Nashville (unless you like catfish). Our 4th or 5th time there and the service is always done well. Food is very good. They timely replenish drinks/cocktails. It's just always a good experience. My only recommendation would be for them to increase the sides menu.

The drinks and food were amazing! The arancini with the melted parmesan from the garlic bread is a great combo and the fusilli pesto and radiatori vodka was great! We also got the dark chocolate budino and it was fantastic. Stef, our server, was great and so friendly. Will definitely come back another time!!

What an amazing experience! This was our first time at the Authentique and we will definitely be back! The food was delicious, genuine French cuisine. They had the best crepes I’ve had in years! The wine selection was great and the service was friendly. I highly recommend this place, they even had live jazz music! A tout a l’heure, Authentique!

Greeted at the door by the chef, my wife and I were whisked away (cooking pun there…) to the back room of the restaurant. There we were seated and greeted by an attractive server and had our special menu explained to us. We had the choice of escargots, a brief interlude of boeuf bourguignon, and I had the steak frites while my wife enjoyed the confit of duck. We were finished off with a traditional cheese plate with a variety of cheeses from around Europe. All the food items were fabulous and the wine pairings were perfect! I will complain that the portions were oversized for me. We were nearly full from the escargots, and the boeuf was a full dinner portion in itself. The ribeye steak was as the chef explains it “what Americans expect”. I can’t fault him for giving his customers what they want, although I personally would prefer a more authentic experience with a smaller skirt or flank steak and about half the amount of fries. To summarize: go there. Eat. You will not regret a thing!
